Ignore negative people’s advice - A perfect example

Once there was a group of frogs who were walking in the forest. Suddenly two frogs out of the group fell into a deep pit. Looking at the depth of the pit, the other frogs gave up and told the two that there is no way to come out of it.


Ignoring their companion's remark, the two frogs tried hard to come out of the pit but they were unable to jump high. Despite their efforts, the other frogs continued to discourage them by commenting that it is not possible for them to come out and maybe they should give up and die.


After listening to them, one of the two frogs in the pit gave up and fall back while the other frog tried hard to come out. The other frogs at the top of the pit again yelled at him to stop trying and die to avoid the pain. He ignored them and after a few unsuccessful attempts, he jumped higher and finally managed to come out.


After coming out, his companion asked him "Did you not hear us inside?". The frog didn’t understand and explained to them that he was deaf and thanked them for encouraging him.


Moral - The deaf frog thought that his companions were encouraging him and that lead him to his success. Similarly, in life, we need to be deaf towards our haters and negative minded people because people will discourage you from watching you strive hard towards your goal. But you should ignore them and continue your journey.
